The Fierce Femme

The Fierce Femme is a feminist living in British Columbia, Canada. She identifies as a cissesxual genderqueer femme and prefers feminine pronouns. She likes to write, knit, crochet, kick ass in Soul Calibur 4, and get a good night's sleep.

She is pro-kink and sex-positive and unashamed of it. She's inked, pierced, and a huge fan of Battlestar Galactica and other good science-fiction.

You'll probably be offended by what she says here. Stick around anyway. It should be fun.

It’s not asking for much. It’s asking for a day once a year that focuses on non-binary folks, our contributions to the world, and our issues, without lumping us in with men or women. I’m so tired of things being applied to me because I have a uterus, all in the name of sisterhood. Isn’t feminism supposed to be stopping the reduction of women to their uteri?

Apparently not when it comes to non-binary folk.

One day. That’s all I want. How about July 14th? It’s precisely in the middle between International Men’s Day and International Women’s day. It’s a nice month. Numerologically it’s a 3, which is an appropriate number, I think, for us non-binary folk.

Hmm, let’s see….I guess a flier would be good, along with a short handout about non-binary identities and issues. Maybe some sort of forum for discussing non-binary issues, too. And IWD and IMD seem to have yearly themes, so that’s an idea too. A website/blog dedicated to it wouldn’t be a half-bad idea, either.

I’d be pleased as punch if other people took this and ran with it; I have a few ideas, but I’m only one femme. 😉
